I also ordered the French onion soup which wasn't the best decision, as French onion soup is best consumed right out of the oven and not to go. But the flavor was great.

A steak place in the lower level and a very large breakfast and lunch area on the main, you won't have any trouble getting a table. Cool log cabin type wood with lots of cool Northwoods decor.

And don't forget about the coffee. Much to choose from and a great value. And lots of made from scratch items.

Wonderful Pasties!!! I'm from Texas and only just learned of pasties after visiting the UP this…read morespring. I have to say, these pasties here are better than what I had in the UP! I originally got 2 breakfast, a German and a Beef and Kraut. They were fantastic! I went back as we were leaving to head west and got some frozen ones to bring along our journey. I only wish they still took mail orders! Do yourself a favor and stop by this tiny gem. You will not be disappointed. The sweet lady with the tattoos was a doll....very friendly and helpful.

There's only a handful of places from The UP (of Michigan) over to The Iron Range who not only make and serve delicious Pasties, but have them frozen or freezer ready to go. Please make Pasties Plus a stop on your way. This is a take out and take home place. I recall seeing one small table. So don't bring a group here to eat. Call ahead and order for your group, family or yourself. Then stop in. Take out. And enjoy. PS - I suggest cutting your hot Pastie in half. Partly to let the heat and savory smells out, but also so you can douse one side with ketchup while you taste the other side straight up.

I was maybe the most hungover I have ever been in my life (not actually, but I was going through…read moreit). We ate outside on the patio. It was nice but HOT! I loved the water pitcher, because the four of us were all at least a little hungover so we were going through the water so quickly. I grabbed a lavender oat latte, which was good, but I didn't end up drinking some of it because of my tummy :/ Jo got a chai, which was so good and I wished I got that. The flavor was so yummy and for some reason the spices seemed like they were good for my tum. For food I got the Kremer crepe. It was really good! Truly give me a crepe and I'll be happy because they feel like such a special treat. Lottie got an acai bowl which looked so good, and they said was super yummy. Jo got another crepe, but had ham, so I didn't try. Oh! and I loved the little baby salad that came with my crepe. It was literally just lettuce and a raspberry vinaigrette, but it was so yummy and exactly what I needed at that moment. Felt like it was fresh from a garden. The food took a second to come out, but I think they were understaffed and they had such a tiny kitchen. The servers were very upfront about timing, so we were honestly expecting food to take longer than it did. Happy surprise :) Overall, it was a very cute little place. I definitely would love to go back some time when I am not hungover so I get the full experience.

For us, it was busy but the service was fast and very friendly. The beer selection focuses on microbrewery's, which I prefer. I selected a German blonde beer from Bemidji. For my meal I did the walleye sandwich. It was breaded & deep fried walleye on a hoagie bun with tomato's, lettuce, red onions and tartar sauce. It was big and it hit the spot! My SO had the walleye filet and shrimp bisque. She said the bisque was the star of the show. The view over the lake makes this a special place. The loud noise from other tables detracts somewhat from that experience.

It took probably 10 minutes for anyone to greet me. There were servers walking past me and I was so confused why no one said hi, or we will be right with you. Nothing. There was a couple of women at a table near me that must have been employees, because the servers kept going over there at chatting. I ordered the salmon with au gratin potato's and Brussel sprouts. The salmon was cooked nicely, but everything was so extremely salty that it made it difficult to enjoy. I tried scraping off as much of sauce on the salmon so I could finish it. Overall, I was really disappointed and won't be back.
